Bespoke attachment chain in just 2 weeks

Bob says: "The investment in our new workshop means we can now build bespoke attachment chain in-house, reducing the turnaround from design to delivery to just 2-3 weeks!. We're one of only a few chain manufacturers to have such technical facilities directly in the UK."

Based within their UK distribution centre and headquarters in the West Midlands, the workshop's technical facilities include:

• Chain Length Measuring machine - designed and built by Donghua the machine accurately measures chain to within 10 microns per metre
• Pre-Loading of Chain - eliminates the initial elongation often found in built in-house attachment chain
• Matching of Chain - Donghua's measuring equipment matches chain to within close tolerances to ensure a high degree of accuracy (within +0.5mm) along the entire length
• Hot-dip lubrication system - allows full penetration into the bearing areas to provide optimum protection for the chain and reduce premature chain wear
• Cutting Large Pitch Chain - two 100 tonne presses cut large pitch chains and rotary chains
• Pneumatic Press Riveter - used for riveting attachment or bespoke chain to the desired configuration
• Tub grinder - used for accurate surface grinding
